My Summer Essentials...

Ah summer, my absolute favorite time of the year; breezy dresses, delicious bbq's, sand in my toes, cool lake swims, the perfect tan, dining alfresco, lazy bike rides... just sublime...
Every year when this glorious season approaches I hunt down a few essentials that go hand in hand with this splendid sunny weather.


The first and in all
probability the most important, are a fabulous pair of sunnies, like these ones...






Chloe 2123 appr. $200


The next, almost equally important summer essentia
l is an outrageously bright and wicked nail color, like these ones...




Essie nail color, Fruit Sangria (yum!)





Revlon nail color, Sweet Tart


Now with any luck you'll be spending an excessive amount of time laying on the beach doing absolutely nothing which means you'll need the perfect sunscreen/tanning oil combo to give you a flawless tan minus the excruciating and slightly embarrassing sun burns...



Banana Boat Tanning Oil with SPF 15 (this stuff is genius!!)


To keep you somewhat preoccupied while slaving away on your tan, you may want to immerse yourself in some easy reading material, something fun with a little romance, a bit of intrigue and a touch of whimsy...




"Love the One You're With" by Emily Giffin

A fun book that raises the question: How do you know if you’ve found “The One”? It’s about a woman who is happily married — or so she thinks — until she runs into an ex she never quite got over. He’s a real bad boy so the reader doesn’t want her to be tempted, but we can also understand why she is.



"What Happened to Anna K." By Irini Reyn


A mesmerizing debut novel that re-imagines Tolstoy
's classic tragedy, Anna Karenina, for our time.

One last oh so important summer essential is left... a gigantic, over-sized beach bag that can hold all previously mentioned items, PLUS everything else you could quite possibly be carrying around on any random summer day; a towel, a bathing suit, your camera, a six pack of MGD... These things are important!


Forever 21 Floral Peace Tote, $2!!


Aldo Accessories Camo Bag, $45
